Sterling beauty lounge hosts father-daughter hairstyling event

Grace Beck, owner/operator of Bombshell Beauty Lounge, will be hosting Beers & Kitty Cocktails, a daddy/daughter hair event where fathers can bond with their daughters while learning simple hair care tips.

STERLINGBombshell Beauty Lounge wants to help dads bond with their daughters while learning to style their hair with more than just a ponytail.

Beers & Kitty Cocktails is a daddy/daughter hair event where fathers can learn simple hair care tips and braiding techniques, such as bubble braids, fishtails and space buns.

The event starts at 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, at 1811 E. Fourth St. in Sterling. Owner Grace Beck said she created the event after reading a Facebook post in which area residents were searching for just such a class.

“I saw it on the ‘What’s New’ Facebook group,” Beck said. “Somebody commented on how great an idea it would be if hairdressers could come together and do this. So, I talked with my Bombshell girls, came up with a name and it was a done deal.”

Tickets for the event are limited and cost $25. Admission includes one beer, one non-alcoholic cocktail, a brush/comb, accessories and special discounts. Mothers and grandparents can also join by purchasing a ticket.

“We’ve already had such a huge response from the community,” Beck said. “I only have three tickets left. I even had another girl contact me and said she owns a bigger company, with a huge space and would love to collaborate with us for something like this in the future.”

Call 815-526-8305 to purchase a ticket by Friday, Nov. 29.
